Ballroom dancers will begin new fall schedule

Published: September 7, 2003 8:00PM

Board members of the local Southeastern Ohio Chapter 266 of USABDA (United States Amateur Ballroom Dancers, Association) met recently at the Seneca Lake campsite of Jim and Paula Bakos for a picnic and to make plans for the fall session of dance lessons and the dressy/casual fall dance.

Dance lessons will be held at the Cambridge Elks ballroom every week on Tuesday evenings beginning Sept. 9. This year the chapter will sponsor two levels of lessons. The beginners level will start at 7:00 -7:45 p.m. and intermediate lessons will begin at 8 - 9 p.m.

Open dancing will be from 9 10 p.m. All dancers are welcome to attend either or both lessons and the open dancing for one price.

Emerson Ebb Brady will again travel from Marietta to teach. Tentatively, beginner lessons will include Swing, Fox-trot (has the same beat as country western two-step), Waltz, and Cha Cha (not necessarily taught in that order). Tentative intermediate lessons will include Rumba, Tango, Samba, and Meringue. Once classes begin a questionnaire will be circulated to participants to determine what they want to learn.

Admission will continue at $5 for members, $7 for non-members, and $3 for students.
